McAllister State Graded School
The term “graded school” was used to refer to any school that had more than one room and therefore contained more than one grade level of pupils. The McAllister State Graded School was built in 1914 and added to in 1919, 1924 and 1936. This was a response to the state government's encouragement of “state graded” schools as a means to improve the quality of rural education. In the early twentieth century, Marinette County had many one room schools but only three two-room state graded schools. The building was purchased by the Town of Wagner for use as a Town Hall in 1957.
